In 2018, there were 574 agricultural fatalities in the US. Those statistics make the agriculture sector one of the most dangerous occupations in the country. Agricenter International has partnered with OSHA to invest in creating a culture of safety for today and for future generations.

This is an opportunity for 4-H youth to receive a Certificate and then challenge family members to sign up for the free course. Safety on the Farm is something we all take for granted until someone gets hurt. Many of us have been touched by an accident on the farm. It affects not only the family members but co-workers, friends and the whole community. This is a great way for 4-H members to pro- mote safety at home, on the farm, and in their communities.

Farm Safe is a program dedicated to providing safety training for all farm and ranch owners, workers and families. All training is offered free of charge.
